5)  Speaking of insults, what technical "point" of an AR-15's performance was the lotion and paper towels question intended to address?

The lotion and paper towel comment was a comment outside the AR-15 discussion, and at no point did I say my entire post was technical. The poetic ways some of you gun enthusiasts describe your guns does sound like an almost erotic attraction. Not an insult, I don't judge, just asking about details. It's remarkable.

I'm not really sure how all your points are in rebuttal to mine. Heck, some confirmed it, such as the recoil comparison. Are you telling me you can get several shots off without re-aiming with a 30-06 as you can an AR-15. You can tell me my nephew is clueless all you want, but that is a common sense comparison I've seen made in several articles. So were the points he made to me about the foregrip.

I freely admit I don't know much about guns, but it seems to me this would be much easier to shoot a lot of kids in a crowded hallway with this...



...than this...


...especially if the shooter is inexperienced.

Recoil is dependant on many factors like the type of round, barrel design/length, muzzle brake, recoil buffer, and gas versus inertia feed systems. Also, I'm not sure where you get the idea that shooting an AR style rifle doesn't require getting back on target or aiming. Any weapon that produces felt recoil needs you to get back on target, to include a .22 caliber rifle. As far as your AR to 30-06 comparison they are equally as deadly in a crowded hallway. Semi-auto is semi-auto is semi-auto. A bit different when comparing to a bolt action. The fore-grip accessory as in the picture of a full-size AR platform is detrimental to accurate shooting. Any qualified rifleman or marksman will tell you as such. Honestly, the only reason they exist is that of all the additional crap we added to the weapons system that interferes with proper purchase on the handguard (light, laser, infrared illuminator, etc.) Even then, most grip the magazine well if need be. Oh, and civilians think it looks tacti-cool!
